CHAPTER VII PAROLYN learned that Bob Hal Was Ufa when she telephoned hr mother at t a. m. "He called here twice and came out just a little bit r!" Mr. Tyler said, after Carolyn ' Initial explanations. "He wat like a erary man, honey! Whatever is?" "Oh, thank you, mother! I'm all rtfht I'll be home soon. Dont you worry." "A woman called all nifht too. A Miss SormL Who Is sheT She also said she had to locate Dr. Hale. Emerfency reasons, she said. She was most distracted, but I suppose the whole town is. Carolyn, you hant had any But personal rest and comfort were farthest from Carolyn's mind. She buns up and Immedi ately telephoned the Schoenfeld Laboratory, where she worked. Nobody answered. She realized that practically everybody would still be at the scene of the explo sion. She went outside again and a newsboy crying third extras as sailed her. She bought the paper, paying a dime and waiting for no change. Here for the first time she began to learn something of the real extent of the damage. In concise, unemotional words and photographs the dry's dailies were doing their lob well. She read avidly. "With only four lives known to have been lost," the paper read, after the opening summary, "citi zens can be thankful for a miracle, the Chief of Police said. He warned that other bodies may yet be found although the wreckage, has been fairly well combed. The four dead were all plant watch men. In daytime the explosion would inevitably have taken hun dreds of .lives. Two ether men are reported missing and may be dead. One is W. H. Delaney, a truck driver for the Metropolitan Transfer Com pany, and the ether la a liquor store owner, M. M. Cragin. "Cragin'i establishment was near the apparent center of the explosion and was so completely destroyed that no trace at it has been found, only a great crater showing en that spot now (see second photo, page 1). Delaney's truck also Is missing and so he. may yet turn up safely, his com pany admitted, but he is so long orcrtiuc m to "Authorities seem agreed that there must have been several con cealed deposits of explosives to nave caused so much damage. "Unquestionably it was sabo tage, police said, although just how a furniture factory and a greenhouse affect preparedness measures is not clear. The rail road destroyed was only a branch line of minor importance in the national scheme. "Another theory advanced by federal officers was that the empty warehouse may have been used as a secret cache of saboteurs and was exploded prematurely or un-j intentionally at this time. Foreign agents are known to have been" j pHE paper had thorough cover-( age, amazingly so, considering the magnitude of the explosion and the short time since It oc curred, even though the officers' theorizing was entirely wrong. Carolyn read and re-read. Then she found herself walking up a street She had long since lost her friendly taxi driver, hadn't even' thought of paying him. Presently she was on the edge of the big crowd of people and cars and, found another taxi that could turn' around and take her away. I She had herself driven directly! to the Schoenfeld Laboratory. By the time she arrived its main plant and its office building were bathed in dawn's sunshine, and the sheer beauty of that was a sort vf spirit ual lift Moreover, she instantly saw Robert Hale. When she jumped from her cab, ordering it to wait, Dr. Hale ran to her. He couldn't talk for a moment. He just jabbed a linger at heri awkwardly and swallowed. "It's all right! All right!" Caro lyn murmured, intently. Don't feel badly. Please don't! Come on in side, at once!" He didn't look like a boss now. In truth, he was simply a young man half crazed with anxiety. "You were at the farmhouse when it happened," she said for him. "Yes. I It didn't come! The X-999. The I heard the explo sion. You knew too? You knew what had happened?" "Not for sure. Bob. But I guessed. It couldn't have been anything else, I felt You had told me how terribly powerful it was. This proves it We must let's make no hasty decisions. Let's be thankful you escaped. All of us. Such danger!" "That's what I can not under stand. How it exploded! Why?" t'TJUT you said it was highly ex " plosive." "Yes, but I meant in power only. Not that it would go off easily. Sudden heat, or a percussion cap such as is used on dynamite these might set it off. "But we had it securely in two lead containers, with wrapping around that and cotton padding on the truck floor. There was ab solutely no possibility and yet. of course, there must have been!" "Please dont be too distressed, Bob." "But I am! I sent only a pert of what we have. Carolyn! My thought was to divide it in sep arate localities to guard against possibility of tampering, however remote. But the first bit moved has caused this! That which we have still in the laboratory must be moved far away at once! With utmost personal care. I will do it myself. The great loss this morn ing i: too appalling!" "You tried a logical way before. You must not blame yourself!" She spoke so vehemently that he was impressed and he squeezed her hand in gratitude. Leana Sormi had seen them; she came out of the office building welkins; fast Her face was even more pale than normal, and strained. "Robert you must come home with me," ah- ordered, peremp torily, ignoring Carolyn. "We must be rational. Say nothing to any one Nothing! You haven't slept for two .y and nights. You will colla; '.'
